Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg weren’t pushed out of Harvard out of frustration, though. They simply succeeeded early. And neither of them studied “leadership and organizations.” Those are all “practical” topics that don’t belong in a traditional college undergrad curriculum

Because that’s a graduate level specialist topic. The same way you probably shouldn’t waste your time majoring in “business.” You’re supposed to learn how to think and broaden your intellectual horizons not go to trade school.
